Doesn’t matter to them, when millions line up to see the next wacky thing Mario is up to, for the 55th time

Absolutely, in so much as posts are made by people with the intention of it being seen, and possibly swaying people to an idea.

Anonymity does not change this. It’s not like people know everyone they see a post for on Twitter either

Edit aside from my using the wrong phrase, it’s funny that folks think Lemmy is special

Lemmy, and other political media.

I guess the phrase is wrong. I’ll edit my comment saying I’m a dumb dumb for using the wrong phrase

Pot, kettle

Edit I’m a dumb dumb and used the wrong phrase.

I mean Lemmy is social media just like Twitter, and is not free from the risk of political “forcing”

So I meant it like Twitter, Lemmy. But me dumb

You are basing so much on a YouTube video.

Jeez this is a good reminder of how people get influenced by media.

…m…mayo?

Bananas.

Lol show me any example of some one using the n word then getting mad about the r word

Toddler time on Lemmy lol

"Hey yall, how do I not pee my pants?

Lol people don’t know how to build a personality that isn’t built out of stuff.

Fourpackets posted a complete thought that doesn’t seem to be trolling

Edit who the fuck downvotes this

Considering that was the peak, where are we now

Why wouldn’t it be? The only thing would be misrepresenting yourself as American, or suggesting you yourself will be voting or similar. We all live on the same rock

I think it won’t be fully “entrenched” and “corporate” I’m 10 mo but point taken. They’re certainly striving for it

Yep. Imagine 10 full years from now. Not long in the span of a career.

This is absolutely not unique to reddit

Yep. No point worrying about redoing life. It happened, everything is ok.

I wish I had going the fire crew right after highschool, did that for several years, then started taking a few classes at a time between seasons.

Then dive into a full degree

Going without motivation.

I graduated college the first time with straight C’s and major that didn’t have much headroom. It was a struggle and I was a terrible student. Always late, always bargaining with professors for extra time, always “faking it”. I couldn’t find work fitting a degree, went on to do landscaping work, field surveying work, security, all minimum wage.

Then I got into firefighting, then wildland firefighting, then saw how computer science and geospatial data played in, and the motivation clicked.

I saved my money from a pair of very very busy fire seasons (lots of OT and hazard pay), Went back to school for CS and GIS with straight A’s, found the whole experience easy and enjoyable. (Not that I wasn’t challenged and had late nights). If you’ve dug ditches for money and don’t want to do that any more, the asks and challenges of college are comparatively trivial. Even in upper division classes the teachers are crystal clear about the expectations, the schedule, the tests, all of it. If you approach classwork like a job, it all falls into place in ways it never did when I had competing interests and really just wanted to fuck off, drink beer, and go skiing.

Everyone else wants to go do whatever during office hours ? Nah Im there. Every time. Etc etc

Motivation made all the difference, even when content was hard for me (linear algebra after 5 years of no academic math? Fuuuck that was some late nights for my dumb ass. )

Yeah… Somebody is clicking them
